Just wanted to thank all of you Wixers for a good year and I am glad to have been around to enjoy it. This time last year I started my fight for life for 5 days. It did not look good but I kicked it so I just wanted to say thanks for a great year of Warbird Fun!! Hopefully I can put another year in the books and be around to find out what happened to the bearcat and see N3N's become more popular than stearmans with Ryan and Zane as our spoksman :D

Hang on there Jeff...are you calling Ryan and I spokesmen for N3N's? or WIX?

I might have a problem with one of those descriptions.... :axe:




So glad you are still with us Jeff! Scary stuff indeed.

Feel the love? hehe :heart:

Jeff, I'm very glad you have made a full recovery. I had a real health scare in the ER 9 years ago so I know exactly where you are coming from.
